Tried loads of vapes. Disappointed with all so far...

[Matt Hodson]

Yup. The S17/22 and vim all use the same coils except the nickel coils which are for TC temp control mode which these kits don't have.

Awesome.
I'll get a VIM or the 22 so I have backups.

Thanks again

The 22 will give you better battery life and will allow you to experiment with other tanks that are 22mm. If you’re not interested in mixing and matching and don’t vape too heavily then the vim is a great out and about device. The good thing with the jac vapours is you can get a pretty decent mtl from them but they are also quite good for a restricted direct lung if you fancied a change.
Customer service is great and they will usually sort problems and queries very quickly for you

I had the trial white vim but it's gone all black around the edges now from use but still holding a full charge. I will get another one soon when the black is back in stock.
I mainly use the 0.5 which gives a good direct to lung hit and coils have lasted me a good 6-8 weeks. The 1 ohm is a tighter draw for mouth to lung.
We tested these to the limit and the 1 ohm even handled 80vg which is almost unheard of.

Let us know how you get on.

 

[Matt Hodson]

Thank you, guys.

Honestly, the coil measurements and stuff like that go over my head. From my understanding the lower the number on the coil the bigger hit you get?

I'm currently using 50/50 juice by 88vape. £1 per 10ml, so it's dirt cheap and tastes alright: https://www.88vape.com/collections/fruit-flavour-e-liquid/products/sweet-strawberry-50-50. I opted to just get 1.0 coils because that's the default one which came with the Vape.

Not sure how to say thanks. If any of you guys need any little jobs doing with Web Development / SEO give me a shout and I'll gladly help. That's the only thing I can really offer haha!

 

[MrDJ]

No worries fella. Were just glad to help get another person of the deadly smokes.

 

[Matt Hodson]

Hmm, so guys, it's leaking really badly - to the point it's not smoking properly the liquid just goes into my mouth. It's pouring out of the little holes.

I've tried to blow into it to get it all out, but it seems it's like it's never ending.

Any advice?

I'm guessing when filling it could of gone down the chimney.
What sort of bottle of juice are you using. Is it a fine nibbed, thicker spout or a squezzy dripper type.
Best hold your vape outside and do a swift jerking motion downwards like a fishing rod. This will clear any excess liquid from the mouthpiece.

So far this is defo the best Vape I've had. I've just bought a friend one who has been smoking for 40 years, so hopefully this thread has got two smokers away from the cancer sticks!

I do have somewhat of a noobie question, my first coil lasted well over a week - no burning taste.
My next coil, after five days, after a couple of drags, has a burning taste. With the coil being relatively new I'm reluctant to think it's the coil -- but am I wrong here?

Some coils are just dodgy even from good companies. Not worth keep trying. Bin it and put a new one in

glad to hear your loving the kit.
tbh ive never had a bad coil yet but as said it can happen with any make.
do you prime the coil first before screwing in.
always a good idea to drip a small amount on each hole around the side of the coil so it soaks into the cotton and then one or two drops down the top of the coil. then screw in and fill up.
also start with small short draws for the first 5 minutes so the coil can bed in. puffing a long draw straight away can sometimes dry up the juice too quick and then you will get the bunt taste.
